Minecraft Creeper Statue

Many Minecraft players fear Creepers and for a good reason.  Many players have been killed because of creepers, only to end up losing some loot and have to go hunting for it again.  Some have even lost loot completely, because of various factors, not getting back in time, etc.  Here, someone built a massive stature of a Creeper.  Why are they so feared?  They blow up.
